Our decision to release 71 hectares of land from the Green Belt will create a world class employment estate and will see major new business space brought forward. Up to 10,000 jobs will be created and a £350 million contribution made to the local economy. It will rival other major UK industrial and distribution developments. The development will be brought forward in stages, with the first phase of 37 hectares providing the infrastructure to serve the whole site, including a new junction onto the A38, public transport connections and major green infrastructure. In March 2018, the City Council announced IM Properties as our development partner who will deliver this high quality scheme. This draft Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) sets out the City’s vision and expectations for this unparrelled development opportunity. Along with the Langley Sustainable Urban Extension, this is a great opportunity for Birmingham and the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield to create thousands of homes, skilled jobs and modern infrastructure. I am delighted that we are publishing this draft for consultation and engaging with the wider community and partners on how we can create a new standard for commercial development.
